I was diagnosed with RA at age 30, I am now 53.  I am thankful to have started on Humira this past weekend.  I hope it works, currently my legs are locking up after I sit or am still, I am toe problems, was a bartendar for 20 years.  When i was diagnosed I could hardly move.  Back then I was given prednisone and another med that sent me into remission.  I am angry that I cannot think of the name of it.  It could damage your eyes so you needed to get eye checks, it was a pill but 20 years ago.  I was put in enough remission to go on and have my son at age 34, I have dealt with aches and pains but nothing as sever as when I first got the disease.  Back then I couldn't even get out of a bath tub myself.  I am thankful to have made it 23 years and am still able to move.  Hang in there!
